Abolishment of morphology-based taxa and change to binomial species names: 2022 taxonomy update of the ICTV bacterial viruses subcommittee

Dann Turner et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the activities of the Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses from March 2021 to March 2022. It provides an overview of the new classifications proposed in 2021, approved by the Executive Committee, and ratified by vote in 2022. The taxonomy of bacterial viruses underwent significant changes, including the abolition of the paraphyletic morphological families Podoviridae, Siphoviridae, and Myoviridae, as well as the order Caudovirales, and the establishment of a binomial nomenclature system for species. Additionally, one order, 22 families, 30 subfamilies, 321 genera, and 862 species were newly created, promoted, or moved.

Cyanobacterial blooms: A player in the freshwater environmental resistome with public health relevance?

Abigail Volk et al.

Summary: Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms and their toxins pose threats to ecosystems and public health, and cyanobacteria may also serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes. This study conducted a literature review and found that cyanobacteria can host antibiotic resistance genes and contribute to their spread through mobile genetic elements.

Novel Virus on FilamentousArthronema africanumCyanobacterium

Karel Petrzik et al.

Summary: A novel bacteriophage named Arthronema africanum virus TR020 (Aa-TR020) has been isolated from filamentous freshwater cyanobacterium Arthronema africanum, showing genetic relatedness to other cyanobacteria-infecting viruses. The genome of Aa-TR020 is a linear dsDNA molecule with 55 predicted genes, similar in structure to viruses classified in the family Podoviridae.
